Sunday Times Where Was I? competition

(www.thetimes.co.uk/travel/destinations/competition/where-was-i-ftrnmb55n)


The prize:

The winner and guest will stay for two nights, B&B, in a Heritage room at The Royal Crescent Hotel & Spa. In one of the most exuberant urban developments of Georgian England, the hotel is steeped in history and brimming with 21st-century comforts. These include its Spa & Bath House, Montagu’s Mews restaurant and 45 bedrooms and suites that match the grandeur of the setting.

From here Bath is your oyster, and with the Fashion Museum and the Roman Baths nearby to deepen the sense of history – and Jane Austen views in every direction – there’s plenty to do. Once you’ve finished exploring you can return to the biggest architectural set piece of them all.

The prize includes one dinner for two (excluding drinks) at Montagu’s Mews. It must be taken between January 3 and March 30, 2025, subject to availability.


Questions

1. What is the name of the island?

    Thanks for posting.
    Has the prize changed or is it me?
    I'm seeing details of a stay in Bankside, London and it says entries have closed....
    Is it just me?
    Thanks
    Ignore - I've just refreshed for literally the 5th time and the Bath one is showing now.
    Very odd.
    So if anyone else gets an old comp, just keep refreshing the page :)
